Insurance company Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas and health care provider Memorial Hermann came to a contract agreement March 11 after previous negotiations failed.

According to a news releasee from Memorial Hermann, in-network access has been restored to patients.

"While this was a challenging endeavor, it was critical to us that BCBSTX renewed its commitment to the sustainability of Memorial Hermann, MHMD and our ACO—all integral resources to the health and well-being of the many communities we have proudly served for more than a century," the news release stated.

The announcement follows a March 1 news release that indicated contract negotiations had failed.
